ATLANTA – Ford & Harrison, one of the nation’s largest labor and employment law firms, sponsored and built its third Habitat for Humanity home in Atlanta. On October 14, Ford & Harrison attorneys and employees, along with partner sponsors from AIG Insurance, HRWorks and Wells Fargo, built a home for a deserving family from the ground up. The dedication of the home took place on Saturday, December 2.
“Building a Habitat for Humanity home has been a very worthwhile experience for our employees,” said
Chad Shultz, a partner at Ford & Harrison LLP who spearheads this project for the firm. “I am glad that we decided to participate for the third year in a row. It is absolutely amazing to build a house in seven days using volunteers with limited building experience, but unlimited energy and compassion for the project.”
The home was built for Nafeesah Burson and Vincent Robinson. Nafeesah recently started working at General Motors and works part time for Accuclean. Vincent uses a wheelchair, yet is incredibly active in a community sports programs. His two children will also live in the home - Crystal, 14 and Vincent, Jr., 9. Vincent surprised his children with the new Habitat house on the day of the home dedication.
